Speaking of antiques.

Has anyone seen the real neat tv show, Antique Roadshow?

They have folks dig out their treasures and bring them in for appraisal.
This show has been a sleeper hit.

Oh yes, one of my fav TV shows. I can remember the lady who found an old helmet in the rafters of her house and it was 15th century Spanish worth $250,000...!

i've seen that show, but i find it boring at times. esp. when someone brings in a piece of junk and hopes it's worth millions. i wonder how greedy some people can be.

In Hawaii we have neither attics nor basements and very few garages. My "stuff" is in the spare room under tons of junk. I have no idea what is really in there!

So go investigate!

Welcome, Isabel! Are you a pack rat, too? What do you collect?

Haha - "packrat" - I know one...
No, I'm more a kind of a magpie. I must have everything that looks nice or is glittering or somehow funny or just interesting. So I don't collect special items, but I have a huge collection of "things without any use", you know stuff that doesn't really do anything, like old toys, little vases, porcellain, glassthings, linen, a teamill (!)...God's sake I don't collect little porcelain or ceramic figurines or old elctronic stuff like some of my friends do.
Oh, and sometimes I buy records, too.
What fleemarket-stuff do you fall for?

i love antiques, but i don't know the first thing, nor am interested enough to do the proper research....i used to prowl through local antique shops but only the furniture interested me and i didn't know if it was worth the prices or not, so i didn't buy anything. (oh, except for a brush and comb set that i got suckered into)...

and glad to see you over here, too, isabel...is a magpie the same as a raven? i know ravens like glittery shiny things....sounds like you have an eclectic collection of things that appeal to you that don't belong in any one category. shall i open a topic for that?

Hey, great! Isabel - that sounds interesting... Show us some pics of your useless stuff - send them to Wolf, she knows how to do this (proof: Barbie-topic, where I haven't seen any new stuff lately - WOLF!)
